A vigil at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Maryland will call for money to be spent helping wounded veterans, not the war.

A peace march in Brattleboro, Vermont will feature drummers, horns, bagpipes, and dancers.

A public forum in Duluth, Minnesota will feature Native American and African American leaders speaking against the war.

A candlelight vigil in San Mateo, California will honor the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and incorporate his words against war.

* * * *

The Iraq Moratorium is an ongoing effort that asks people, on the third Friday of every month, to take some action, either individually or in a group, to call for an end to the war.

You can wear a button or a black armband to work. You can join a vigil. You can write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. You can put a sign in your window or on your front lawn. You can talk to your neighbour or co-worker about your opposition to the war.

Today is a good day to plan what you can do this Friday to contribute to the peace movement.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.Margaret Mead

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.Karl Marx

There is a tendency to think that what we see in the present moment will continue. We forget how often we have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people's thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible.Howard Zinn
